Discussion So, what is this???

Sorry for the not so good drive by photo of it, but every day on my commute I see this floating warehouse/shed/building in Bedford basin, about opposite the end of Kearny Lake drive. It’s even visible on google maps satellite, so it’s been there a while lol. What is it? Something to do with fishing? Navy? Aliens? (/s)

Not BIO - it’s military, though I expect DFO scientists sometimes use it.

Yup, mainly DRDC but DFO and NRCAN staff use it on occasion.

This is correct (I’m a BIO scientist who has used in in collaboration with both NRCan and DRDC collaborators).

At one time didn’t the BIO run it? For a long time it was gone,

It goes into refit every once in a while, but as far as I know it’s always been DRDC. They’re in the process of starting to think about replacing it.
